A digital TV recorder and receiver in one, Sky+ frees you to enjoy your favourite TV when you want, not when the schedules dictate.
Ex-Eastender, Ultimate Force star and now Sky documentary producer, Ross Kemp says:"Sky+ changed how I watch television completely."
Digital TV recorder – single shows
As a digital TV recorder, Sky+ directly stores the incoming Sky TV signal as you need – so there's no need for a standalone DVD or video recorder. To record a single show, simply find it in your on-screen TV planner, and press 'Record' on the Sky+ remote control. A Sky+ box holds up to 40 hours of recorded TV at any one time.
Digital TV recorder – whole series
A special Series Link feature makes it easy for you to record a whole season of your favourite show in one go. TV hostess Mariella Frostrup says: "Without Series Link, I'd have to rely on my non-existent memory"
Digital TV recorder – remote set-up
You can set up a Sky+ recording even when you're miles from home – either with your mobile phone or online at Sky.com. If you're out and learn there's something on you want to watch, or maybe spot a programme you like right here on TVNowandNext, you know it will be waiting for you when you get in.
Digital TV recorder – easy playback
As the TV you record is stored in your Sky+ box, there's no need to search through tapes or DVDs to find it. In your on-screen TV planner, you simply look up the show you want to play back. Then press 'Select' on your remote control. Good Life goddess and Rosemary and Thyme star Felicity Kendal says: "Something that was once complicated is now very simple."
Digital TV recorder – every second of the action
At the touch of a button, Sky+ lets you pause and restart on-air shows. It's ideal if you&3#9;re viewing is interrupted by a phone call or someone at the door. Chat show king Sir Michael Parkinson says:"I love the pause button, especially when I'm watching golf. You can stop a swing then watch it back to see how you can improve yours. It's a training aid."
Digital TV recorder – entertainment on demand
Sky+ also gives you access to Sky's on-demand service, Sky Anytime on TV. So you can watch from a selection of hit shows, hidden gems and more. Whenever you like, and without even having to set-up a recording.
Digital TV receiver – you're in control
As a digital TV receiver, Sky+ receives your digital TV channels, just like a standard Sky box. You can use it to set on-screen reminders which prompt you when particular shows are about to start. And to filter exactly which channels your children have access to.
For Sky+ you need:- Sky TV for the best choice of dramas and comedies, documentaries and lifestyle specials, music and kids shows, news and events, and premium sports and movies entertainment. With Sky, you only order, and pay for, the types of TV you truly want to watch.
